Channel Z 6925 AM 1255 UTC 23 Jan 2016
« on: January 23, 2016, 1256 UTC »
1255 Just signed on, very weak here, but some audio.. OM talking? Now some music. I think the Channel Z sign on music?
1308 The signal is now up to S8, and will probably be S9 shortly. Zee timed this transmission perfectly with the morning increase in foF2.
1311 Now S9.

Catching bits of music and talk at peaks above the noise floor at a S5-6 at best. Not coming in as good as last nights show was. Last night was the best I have heard Channel Z in a long time. Thanks Z!
